For professional recyclers and for the recycling of mixed plastics, HERBOLD Meckesheim GmbH (www.herbold.com) is a hallmark name. The whole range of machines from shredders via granulators, washing and separation lines to plastcompactors make up the product line of the machine and plant manufacturer from Meckesheim close to Heidelberg….
DetallesOn an area of around 34,000 square meters, 480 companies from 23 nations presented themselves at the Plastimagen in Mexico City. The industrial show is considered the flagship fair of the plastics industry in Latin America. Among a total of 13 pavilions, eleven of them country-specific, Europe in particular was strongly represented.
DetallesCoperion y Herbold Meckesheim colaboran tecnológicamente en la construcción de una planta completa para el reciclaje «Bottle to Bottle» a partir de un único proveedor para el fabricante indio de envases de plástico y preformas, Magpet Polymer Pvt Ltd. Además del procesamiento mecánico completo de las botellas de PET usadas, el sistema de reciclaje abarca todos los pasos del proceso liderados por el sistema de extrusión, con una extrusora de doble husillo ZSK, incluido el sistema de peletizado y el reactor SSP (Solid State Polycondensation).
DetallesHerbold Meckesheim is satisfied with its results after IFAT 2022 in Munich. Despite the current economic uncertainties, the special machine builder has recorded a constant number of incoming orders. After many negotiations, the projects are now seen to get reality – almost 60 percent of these projects are located outside Germany.
DetallesThe plant manufacturer Herbold Meckesheim will expand its test centre with a new hot washing plant by the end of the year as a consequence of the fast growing demand for superior recycled plastic (aim: “similar to virgin”).
DetallesHERBOLD has develloped a new way to feed granulators:
The material to be size-reduced does no longer fall by gravity into the grinding chamber but is evenly and horizontally fed into the rotor with the help of feeding screws…
Indroneel Goho, President & CEO of Magpet Polymers Pvt Ltd, visited Herbold at its booth 9B34 at K 2025 to sign the contract. The new washing line is an extension of the bottle-to-bottle recycling plant that Coperion and Herbold Meckesheim are currently installing for Magpet in India. The granulators and an initial washing line have already successfully commenced operation. With the new washing line, Magpet will be able to increase its PET washing capacity by a factor of 2 to 2.5.
DetallesFor use in plastic recycling plants, the demand for powerful shredders has grown. Especially those that can process entire bales at the beginning of the reprocessing chain. Modern washing plants in particular, such as produced by Herbold Meckesheim, require sophisticated shredder technology to be able to process high throughputs and challenging feed materials. At the same time, the machines should be largely wear-resistant and as simple as possible to operate and maintain.
DetallesBOPET and BOPP films with heavily printed surface or metallized cannot be treated with traditional recycling processes, or at least only with great difficulty due to the high standards required for the degasification of extruders….
DetallesThe primary production of one metric ton of polypropylene – the world’s second most widely used plastic – requires some 5.2 metric tons of raw materials and releases 1.7 metric tons of greenhouse gases. By contrast, the use of one metric ton of polypropylene from secondary raw materials, such as plastic waste, results in only around 225 kilograms of resource consumption and just under one metric ton of greenhouse gases.
